![]() ![]() The whole situation has made me want to do something completely different, like give an iPad Pro a try as my main computer. I've noticed the growing cult of high-end 2015-ish MacBook Pros with the old keyboards and SD card readers and such. When I started working at The Outline, I was offered a choice of a new MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air for my work computer, and I chose the MacBook Air, with its good keyboard that doesn't break from dust. This old MacBook Pro is still fine, and most importantly, all the keyboard keys work. I still had my 2013 MacBook Pro around, so I sold my 2016 MacBook Pro back to Apple's refurb program, and now I just use the 2013 as my laptop (I used the recovered money to build a PC, lord help me). These MacBook Pros have been sent back to the manufacturer (Apple) or a company that specializes in restoring MacBook Pros. And on top of that, you're paying a very expensive premium out the door to get a Touch Bar and to not get any useful ports. Refurbished MacBook Pros also sometimes called refurbed, remanufactured, or reconditioned are Apple laptops that are in full working condition. The current models' keyboards have severe reliability issues, and are so badly-designed that service and replacement can take hours or days under warranty and cost hundreds of dollars out of it. There's a huge sale on MacBook Pros right now at Best Buy, but Casey Johnston convinced me not to upgrade. ![]()
